Baby Boy Name Game

• Have guests write down words made from the letters in the baby's name.petites notes 11 image by Nathalie P from <a href='http://www.fotolia.com'>Fotolia.com</a>
  
  Welcome Baby suggests playing the baby name game as a fun shower activity. Using sheets with "it's a boy" along one side, guests try to come up with as many words as possible that can be spelled using the first and middle names of the baby. The game sheets are free to download from the Welcome Baby website and will look wonderful when printed out in full color. Give the guests a set amount of time, perhaps five minutes, to shuffle the letters in the baby's name to come up with as many words as they can, and award a prize to the one with the most words.
  
  

Blue Theme

• Make blue the color of choice for your shower decorating.gift wrapping items image by nTripp from <a href='http://www.fotolia.com'>Fotolia.com</a>
  
  The color blue and baby boys have long been associated, making this lovely shade perfect for shower decorations. Blue balloons, ribbons and streamers can be used to decorate walls and tables, and blue flowers, like dyed carnations, will look lovely in vases. Bowls of blue candies, such as jelly beans and gumdrops, make tasty snacks. Finish the look with a few extras, like a picture of a stork (perhaps carrying a blue bundle) or a baby carriage.
  
  

Celebrity Baby Name Scramble

• Celebrity babies are famous in their own right, and spend their early years splashed across the headlines; they inspire a fun game from the website Baby Names. Find famous celebs who've had boys over the last few years and list their names along one side of a page. Along the other half of the page, list the names of their offspring in scrambled order, and have guests try to match the famous parent with their son, awarding a prize to whomever gets the most correct.
  
  

Pin the Diaper on the Baby

• Give the guests a squirt to remind them of the challenges of diapering a boy!squirt guns image by Karin Lau from <a href='http://www.fotolia.com'>Fotolia.com</a>
  
  A take on pin the tail on the donkey, guests playing pin the diaper on the baby will be given paper cut-outs of common baby supplies, including a bottle, a diaper, a rattle and a bonnet. After being blindfolded and gently turned around a couple of times, the player will walk toward a large poster or illustration of a baby on the wall and try to pin his or her object in the appropriate place. To give the guests an idea of the surprises that can happen when changing a boy, Baby Shower Games Etc. suggests that someone give the player a quick squirt from a water gun.
